The
Department of Civil Engineering has been a part of IIT Bombay since its
inception in 1958. Over the years, the department has grown tremendously, and
is now recognized as one of the best and major engineering departments in the
country and ranked highly in the World for Civil Engineering. With its
multifaceted faculty, it provides high quality teaching and instruction at both
UG and PG as well as Ph. D levels. Besides, the Department is actively involved
in basic and applied research and consultancy and provides high quality
technical advisory support through various R & D projects and consultancy
to various organizations. Civil Engineering Department continues to maintain
and cultivate its strong links with the public sector companies, planning agencies,
public service providers, consultation firms, construction industry, academic
and research institutions both within and outside the country.

The
department has attracted significant amount of sponsored research funding from
government and private agencies and is delivering excellent output in terms of
implementable solutions and large number of research publication in quality
journals having high impact factor. The Department disseminates the knowledge
gained from its high quality research through training programs and interacts
with world renowned personalities through workshops and conferences. The
students and faculty have won prestigious national and international awards and
recognition, and continuing to bring laurels to the department and the Institute.

The department has well-equipped
laboratories with excellent advanced instrumentation and equipment for research
and teaching. State-of-art computational facilities are available in the
departmental computational laboratory which is equipped with new servers,
workstations and personal computers. All the computers in the department are
networked with the institute Local Area Network and are connected to internet
through IIT Bombay’s proxy servers.

The students of the Department can use the
Central Library that has more than 440,000 books and volumes, and subscribes
more than 1800 current journals in Science, Engineering, Humanities and Social
Sciences. Library cataloguing is fully computerized. The Department also has a
library where all B. Tech., M.
Tech. and Ph.D. Theses completed at the Department are available for reference.
The Department has 52 faculty members and about 25 other technical and
non-technical staff. The department disseminates knowledge to working
professionals regularly by organizing national and international
conferences and workshops. Continuing Education Programme courses are also
conducted by the Department on a regular basis. The faculty publishes
extensively from the research and consultancy work carried out in the
Department. More than 200 research papers are published every year by the
faculty in all areas of Civil Engineering in the national and international
journals and conferences.

The B.Tech. Programme involves four full
years of coursework that should be completed by the student to earn required
credits to graduate. The minimum credit requirement for the student to graduate
from Civil Engineering is 275
credits. The students can also pursue honors stream
which require an additional 24 credits to be earned by the student. Students
can also complete a B.Tech degree with minor if they pursue an additional 30
credits with other departments.

The B.Tech. Programme involves five full
years of coursework that should be completed by the student to earn required
credits to graduate. The minimum credit requirement for the student to graduate
from Civil Engineering is 395
credits.

A basket of four courses are offered to
students desiring to pursue a minor in Civil Engineering at undergraduate
level. These courses are open to B.Tech students from other departments
desiring to pursue a minor in Civil Engineering
